Vocational-technical secondary education includes a three-year selection of optional courses leading to one of the 30 or so technical baccalauréats. A student may instead opt for a one-year course conferring no particular qualification or may opt for apprenticeship training in the workplace.
In Germany, schools are the responsibility of the governments of the states, or Länder, and the structure of elementary and secondary education is not entirely consistent throughout the nation. In all states, however, the period of elementary education covers eight or nine grades. After this period, three basic options are available to the pupils. They may, after counseling by the elementary school teacher and upon the request of the parents, be placed in a Real schule, a Gymnasium, or a Hauptschule , the last representing a continuation of elementary education.
Those pupils attending the

In Germany the term "secondary school" refers to institutions offering courses leading to the "Certificate of Maturity" (the

for German youth, offers rigorous academic preparation for higher education. Like the lycée in France and the Angara Cushion Amethyst Cocktail Ring with Diamond Accents in White Gold 9cvvY
in England , the Gymnasium is designed for those students who have shown the most academic promise; and its curriculum, emphasizing languages, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences, requires a high degree of diligence throughout all of the nine grades. Unsuccessful students in the Gymnasium may be transferred to the Hauptschule. At the age of 16, moreover, pupils may terminate their academic studies and enter a vocational school.
Students in the Gymnasium must pass an examination, the Abitur , entitling them to the Certificate of Maturity, if they are to be admitted to a German university. The content of the Abitur is adjusted to the focus of studies, such as classical languages or mathematics-science, chosen earlier by the student.

7.16 Compliance Policy
7.16.1 Compliance
It is the policy of the University System of Georgia (USG) to comply with applicable Federal and State laws, rules, and regulations and to encourage ethical conduct as detailed in the USG Ethics Policy (see Board Policy 8.2.20 University System of Georgia Ethics Policy). The USG Compliance and Ethics Program (Program) refers to the USG policies and procedures designed to ensure ethical conduct and compliance with legal requirements and ethical conduct.
Adherence to Federal guidelines for an effective compliance and ethics program is also a key Program purpose. Effectively implementing the Program will ensure that USG institutions are equipped with the information needed to effectively follow applicable laws and regulations while also reducing potential fines and penalties should a USG institution inadvertently not adhere to a legal or regulatory requirement.
Effectively implementing the Program will also ensure that USG institutions are equipped with the information needed to effectively comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. A system wide compliance program can help identify subject matter experts in various fields and assist in making their expertise known across the University System. Program implementation will focus on leveraging current resources and Board Policy 7.15 Risk Management in support of Program implementation.
7.16.2 Objectives
Program objectives are to:
- Identify applicable laws, regulations, policies, and contractual requirements which pertain to each institution and to the USG;
- Ensure that responsibility for ensuring compliance has been properly assigned to responsible personnel;
- Monitor compliance with applicable requirements; and,
- Provide training and expertise to assist institutions and the USG in meeting its compliance requirements.
7.16.3 Framework
An effective Program is designed to meet the following elements and ensure that:
- Standards have been adopted that require compliance with applicable law;
- High-level personnel have been assigned the authority and responsibility to implement the Program and that the Board of Regents is periodically updated on Program status;
- Individuals with substantial discretionary authority and/or charged with implementing the Program have not engaged in illegal activities or other conduct inconsistent with an effective compliance program;
- Program requirements and ethical standards are periodically communicated to all employees through effective training and regular communication;
- Effective monitoring is implemented to detect misconduct, evaluate Program effectiveness, and provide a reporting system whereby employees can report misconduct without fear of retribution;
- Program standards are enforced through appropriate incentives and sanctions; and,
- Responses to misconduct are appropriate and that reasonable steps are taken to prevent further offenses to include modifying the Program to prevent and detect violations of the law.
7.16.4 Applicability
The Compliance Policy applies to all USG institutions and the University System Office.
7.16.5 Implementation
An institution-wide approach to compliance shall be adopted by all USG institutions. It is expected that compliance processes will be embedded into the institution's management systems and processes. All compliance efforts will be focused on supporting the institution's objectives. Therefore, each institution president or designee shall develop a campus compliance framework and associated procedures to:
- Identify and document applicable policies, procedures, laws and regulations;
- Establish job positions and/or oversight committees within the institution that have responsibility for ensuring compliance with each identified policy, procedure, law or regulation as applicable;
- Appoint one or more Compliance Officers where there are a substantial number of high risk policies, procedures, laws and regulations in a single area and in a manner as deemed appropriate for the specific institution (examples may include athletics, research, and human subject research);
- Communicate the policies, procedures, laws and regulations and their associated Compliance Officers or owners to institution staff as applicable and to the USG Office of Internal Audit and Compliance; and,
- Develop procedures where Compliance Officers and other individuals with responsibility for ensuring compliance: a. Conduct assessments of compliance requirements; b. Identify steps to implement these requirements; and, c. Report on the progress thereof.
7.16.6 Accountability
There are multiple offices within the USG that have responsibility for compliance activities. The Chancellor shall designate a position responsible for coordinating the Program system wide.

If you give any credence to advanced stats he is actually a positive influence on possession out there.. both in terms of his own numbers and in terms of his effect on other forwards playing with/without him (including Kesler).Rumsfeld wrote:That said he's worthnothing right now and I have hopes he'll come to camp healthy and have a strong season. Where to play him though? He and Kesler have been terrible together and he's not exactly checking line material.
I wouldn't put him out there shadowing Kopitar or anything like that but it would seem he can hold his own and keep things heading in the right direction.
Unfortunately he also seems to be one of those rare players that drives down shooting percentage when he's on the ice.
Anyway I don't really buy the idea that he can't play with Kesler, but if you were looking for another spot with him he might do well with a center like Jordan Schroeder in relatively soft matchups - physical presence, good territorial player, could benefit from a center who distributes well...
Who knows what the Canucks bottom six is going to look like but I think Booth has most of the right skills (some, not all) to be moved around to virtually any line and contribute there.

Surprise as inflation falls to 1.6%
Inflation fell to 1.6% in July as fashion stores launched summer discounts and fierce competition between supermarkets helped keep a lid on food prices for the longest stretch in a decade.
The sharper-than-expected drop in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure of inflation, from 1.9% in June, further dampened the likelihood of any rise in interest rates this year and saw the pound fall by a cent against both the dollar and the euro.
But there was little comfort for commuters as a separate cost-of-living measure used to set rail fare rises eased off only slightly, meaning they will see a 3.5% season ticket hike in January.
The Consumer Price Index measure of inflation is expected to have edged lower to 1.8 per cent
The latest CPI figures mean inflation has been below the Bank of England's 2% target for seven months in a row, the first time this has happened since 2005, and they were welcomed by Prime Minister David Cameron.
He said: "Good news that inflation is down to 1.6%. We have to stick to our long-term economic plan to ensure financial security for families."
But shadow Treasury minister Cathy Jamieson said: "While this fall in the rate of inflation is welcome, the squeeze on working people continues."
Wages are still struggling,with latest figures showing a 0.2% fall. The Bank of England recently halved its forecast for 2014 pay growth from 2.5% to 1.25%.
The largest contribution to the fall in CPI came from clothing and footwear, where prices fell 5.7% month-on-month, or 0.2% year-on-year.
Retailers usually roll out discounts at the time of year but held firm in June amid strong demand, resulting in sharper than normal falls this time.
Food and non-alcoholic beverages fell 0.4% year-on-year, after no change in June and a 0.6% drop in May. May's decline was the first since March 2006.
The latest figures meant there had been three successive months of flat or negative food inflation, the first time this has happened since the end of 2004 when prices in the sector fell for five months in a row.
CPI was also watered down in July by spirits and wine becoming less expensive while there was upward pressure from higher prices for used cars and sea fares.
Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation, which includes housing costs, dropped from 2.6% to 2.5% meaning rail season tickets will rise by an average of 3.5% - or RPI plus 1% - from next January. It will be lower than this year's 4.1% but still well ahead of wages.
Last week the Bank pushed back City forecasts for the timing of an interest rate rise when it made clear that it would take particular account of weak pay growth in deciding when it should do so.
The new inflation figures added to expectations that the hike is now more likely to take place next year as CPI is lower than the Bank had thought.
Markets will take further clues on the thinking of the rate-setting monetary policy committee (MPC) when minutes of its meeting this month are published tomorrow.
The MPC voted to keep rates on hold at 0.5% - where they have been held since 2009 - but there was strong speculation that some members might have called for a rise in what would be the first split vote on rates since July 2011.
Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, said: "As long as inflation remains benign, the central bank will also have leeway to raise interest rates slowly and gradually, when they decide the time has come to do so."
Investec's Victoria Clarke said: "We view today's data as consistent with the mood music playing at present, which is that, for now, a late-2014 increase in Bank rate appears to be off the cards."
Jeremy Cook, chief economist at currency exchange company World First, said: "For the majority of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee, this figure will come as a bit of a relief.
"No policymaker would want to be caught between the rock and the hard place of a decision between heading off an inflation number running higher and a wage picture that is seeing pay fall in both real and nominal terms."
Samuel Tombs of Capital Economics said despite the latest fall, the effect of the strong pound - which keeps down import costs - had yet to feed through fully to the shops, while the recent weakness in wages was also likely to continue to keep a lid on prices.
Mr Tombs said it might not be enough to prevent the MPC from starting to "normalise" rates soon - with experts anticipating a first hike in February.
But he said: "We believe that a general environment of benign inflationary pressure will give the committee scope to raise them at an even more gradual pace than currently anticipated by the markets."
Capital Economics expects inflation to ease to as low as 1% by the end of the year.

A Handy Guide to Ja'mie King's Totally Ja'miezing Aussie Vocabulary
From "bogan" to "quiche."
Chris Lilley's latest mockumentary series, Jai'me: Private School Girl, premiered last night on HBO (and you can watch the first episode for free on YouTube), giving fans of the Australian comedian what they've been demanding for years now: more Ja'mie King. Ja'mie is a character played by Chris Lilley himself — first in 2005's We Can Be Heroes, and later in 2007's Summer Heights High — a 17-year-old high schooler who is a total mean girl. And she's won the Internet's heart by being a walking, hair-flipping catchphrase in a show that's really all about her. She's trendy, boy-crazy, a little psychotic, and also throws around Aussie slang (and a bit of her own vocab) like it's confetti. In order to gear up for this new dose of teen linguistics, here's a handy field guide to some of her favorite words.
noun \ˈbau̇-ˈgən\
Someone who's trashy. A mutant hybrid of the American white trash and bro stereotypes.

box gap
noun \ˈbäks ˈgap\
The space between one's thighs when they are standing, ideally three fingers in width. Also known as a thigh gap.

The level at which you care about something (often not high).

To flirt with someone as the result of sexual attraction.
"She's a lesbian … I always think she's trying to crack onto me. Gross!"

verb \ˈgō ˈȯf\
To get nuts, have fun, lose control.
"Before we go, I want to give you guys an example of what you will look like going off on the dance floor at the formal. *turns on boombox* *gyrates onstage*"
noun \ˈgäs\
"News, goss, go."
Hillford Girl
noun \ˈhil-ˈfȯrd ˈgər(-ə)l\
A student at Hillford Girls Grammar School.

"I'm good at a lot of stuff ... I like to say I'm Ja'miezing."

"I've had eleven actual boyfriends and I've pashed like 135 guys."
adjective \ˈpȯ-ˈvō\

Prefect Promise
noun \ˈprē-ˌfekt ˈprä-məs\
An oath taken by all grade twelve Hillford School prefects, swearing that they will stick together no matter what.
"Like, for example, if one of us got depression and wanted to kill themselves, then we — as part of the Prefect Promise — would probably all kill ourselves."
adjective \ˈkēsh\

BATH, Maine (AP) - February 12, 2013 --Investigators in Maine say a body has been found in the rubble of a home that was destroyed in an early morning explosion.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland says the single-story duplex blew up and caught fire around 5 a.m. Tuesday in Bath. Fire investigators are working to determine the cause, but the duplex used propane as its heating source.
The explosion was big enough that it scattered debris a quarter mile away, with clothing, wood, insulation, shingles and other debris landing in trees and on top of neighbor's homes.
McCausland says at least four people were hospitalized, but the identity of the victim has not been confirmed.
McCausland says the duplex is in a development built during World War II to house shipyard workers.

From the beginning, it has always been our vision to preserve the entire High Line, from Gansevoort Street all the way to 34th Street, through the West Side Rail Yards.
On Wednesday, May 12, the City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the City's ULURP application to allow it to acquire the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards. Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and Community Board 4 have already recommended approval of the proposal, but obtaining approval from the City Planning Commission is required to move the application forward.
The most effective way to show your support is by attending the City Planning Commission's upcoming public hearing.City Planning Commission Public Hearing
Wednesday, May 12, 2010
22 Reade Street, Spector Hall
New York, NY 10007
This is your last chance to show your support before the proposal goes to the City Council for a final public hearing and vote. Please join us! RSVP by e-mailing email@example.com.
We will have a limited number of red t-shirts saying "Save the High Line at the Rail Yards" or "Save the Spur" for supporters to wear during the hearing. If you already have a red t-shirt, please wear it to show your support!
Please note that the hearing will begin at 10:00 AM. To ensure a seat at the hearing, we recommend arriving between 9:30 and 10:00 AM. While we do not know the exact time our proposal will be considered, the High Line is the second item on the agenda for that day, so chances are that we will be heard shortly after 10:00 AM.
Any amount of time that you are able to join us at the hearing – a half hour, one hour, or more – will help us show the Commission that the public continues to support the preservation of the entire High Line. Help us preserve this iconic part of New York's industrial history.

Books: Toast by Nigel Slater
Article Digest:
I just finished reading
Toast: The Story of a Young Boy's Hunger
. I received this book as a gift when Cooking For Engineers won Food Blog of the Year of 2005 (
) and didn't get a chance to start reading it until a month ago. If you believe that food is integral to your life (beyond simply a life sustaining means) or have ever remembered an event in your life by the smell of the kitchen or the taste of a pie, then this book will work for you.
is a pretty easy read and is split up into bite sized pieces that are interesting enough to get you to want to read each one or two page segment. The writing isn't gripping enough to cause you to go to bed late or miss the bus in the morning because you couldn't put it down, but the story is intriguing enough to get you to come back and read yet another couple pages (until you've finished the book).
At the simplest level,
is an autobiographical account that follows Nigel Slater, the acclaimed British cookbook author and columnist, from the age of six through his time at catering school (culinary college). Most of the narrative moves along rapidly with slight leaps of time taking place between vignettes where we pause briefly to glimpse at Nigel's childhood memories of food and eating set to the backdrop of an ominous event or foreshadowing of his future. Through these memories of food - mince pies, blackcurrant pies, marshmallows (which young Nigel once described as "the nearest food to a kiss"), peach melba - Nigel recounts not just how he felt about the food and preparation of the food, but also what it means to him: the social hierarchy of candy bars in the world of prepubescent boys, his efforts to receive affection from his father through learning about gardening and preparing smoked haddock, and visiting Grandmother in order to steal her lemon drops.
His memories move between delightful remembrances and a melancholy achingness. At one point in the story, as his mother's health ails due to asthma, I was brought almost to tears as he recalls his mother preparing pie crusts with him for mince meat pie.
"Isn't it a bit early?" I say, quizzing Mum over her plan to make the mince meat pies ten days before Christmas.
"No, I'm going to put them in the freezer so they are ready for you to pop in the oven whenever you want one." It's about time we had something in the freezer.
"Here, you have a go, darling." She hands me the wooden pin with its red handles and goes to the top drawer for one of her Ventolin inhalers. There seem to be more than ever lately.
Mum walks over to the larder and there is much clanking and banging, I hear tins being pushed along the shelves, even the Christmas pudding being moved.
"Sorry, honeypie, I could have sworn I had some mincemeat, we'll have to put it all away in the fridge till tomorrow."
"But Mummy, you PROMISED!"
"Darling, I'm sorry, I forgot to get it when I went to the shops."
"You're HOPELESS, I hope you DIE." I run up the stairs to my room, slam the door and lie facedown on the bed. I knew she'd forget. I just KNEW it.
His stories give you a window on his childhood and his perception of his well-to-do parents, mother's asthma and ailing health, his step-mother, early sexual experiences (and, later as a young man, frequent "shaggings"), revulsion to certain foods (milk, eggs), and his fascination with good food.
The story is interesting, especially if you like books that aren't cherry coated. Nigel's early life was sprinkled with grief, dirtiness, and, occasionally, shocking events - and he doesn't hide any of it. More than anything, it's the frankness and openness that Nigel writes with that kept me reading through the rest of the book. In the end, it left me feeling a bit guilty that I had been exposed to the personal secrets of a man who I didn't even know. But, it's hard not to feel like you really know Nigel as a human being (instead of the celebrity of a famous food columnist) after reading

I've read 'Toast' . I've also enjoyed some of Nigel's TV programmes.
I've also got a couple of his cookery books. He's a geat chef and and, from the little I've learned about him, a nice man, too!

From late-2008 to mid-2009, banks and financial institutions had already written off or written down credit losses on U.S. mortgages by over $1.6 trillion according to the OECD.
Charge-offs on just the CDO-financed portion of the subprime lending debacle were recently estimated by economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to approach a half trillion dollars. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 is still the law of the land and, if it was a root cause of the last financial crisis, as opponents conclude, then it likely will be again.
CRA remains a point of contention. Its proponents, most recently Ellen Seidman and Mark Willis in American Banker, attack research purporting to find a link between the CRA loans and ultimate credit loss. CRA supporters implicitly share the official explanation that greed got the better of lenders and regulators were powerless to stop them.
CRA purportedly reflected a concern that local bankers were not lending "enough" to good borrowers in their communities or neighborhoods, which were typically characterized by ethnic and/or racial concentrations. This systemic market discrimination supposedly persisted throughout the last century. During the last decade, while greedy mortgage lenders were originating about 20 million subprime loans to borrowers of dubious credit, CRA proponents implicitly argue that lenders would still have discriminated systemically against profitable CRA-qualifying borrowers but for the requirement. Is any of this credible?
Competition in the mortgage banking industry was first labeled "cutthroat" in 1944 and has been ever since. Because older inner-city neighborhoods often had a much higher percentage of African-Americans — and, later, other racial minorities — the implicit concern of regulators and economists was illegal racial discrimination. Because incomes were also generally much lower in older inner-city neighborhoods, and the risk of a systemic decline in property values much greater, it was generally difficult to distinguish illegal racial profiling from legal credit discrimination.
But, by the end of 1977, there were literally thousands of potential loan brokers who would profit from originating and selling loans made in older inner-city neighborhoods if they could be underwritten to the standards of the most liberal investors nationwide, including the Federal Housing Administration. Local branch offices of banks were rarely responsible for mortgage lending decisions. Moreover, banks decided whether to sell or to hold mortgages for lots of financial reasons, so while there was plenty of competition to make good loans, this was unlikely to be reflected in the portfolio of any "community" banker.
In 2012, Oonagh McDonald found the CRA economic studies using Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 data to be seriously flawed, concluding that "the HMDA data did not serve a useful purpose throughout their history …" because the data didn't allow tracking the performance of loans subsequent to qualifying for CRA credit.
Subsequent statistical analysis of credit costs – whether low or most recently high – can always be criticized, but the same criticisms apply to studies purporting discrimination in the absence of CRA. You can buy McDonald's excellent book (for about $100) or ignore this ongoing methodological debate as irrelevant to what happened during the last decade.
From the very beginning prudential regulators used poor grades on CRA assessment reports based on HMDA data to withhold approval for branching and merger applications in response to political advocacy group pressure to extract easier terms for select borrowers. How this got out of hand leading to $3.8 trillion of CRA-related commitments coming due between 2000 and 2007 is explained in a prior BankThink column.
These new CRA commitments – the majority agreed to by the "too-big-to-fail" banks – required that banks unleash their mortgage banking subsidiaries. Bank mortgage holdings doubled from $2.5 to $5.0 trillion, but almost $1 trillion of that were second mortgages. Banks could originate loans for CRA certification then sell "servicing retained" in pools of private-label mortgage securities, many of which were then sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to meet their affordable housing goals. Banks also bought about $0.5 trillion in PLS, likely for CRA credit with less than half the capital required of whole loans.
Holding the second loan while retaining servicing of the first probably continued to allow the loan to count for CRA, and second mortgage loans had a 100% risk weighting except when combined with a first mortgage lien, in which case it was only 50%., which would explain why the four CRA-driven TBTF banks held a disproportionate 45% of the stock of second mortgages.
Hence the bulk of CRA-related losses are likely found in CDO securities and second mortgage portfolios. That doesn't prove CRA was the cause, but CRA proponents have offered no convincing evidence of innocence or a need that justifies the risk. The Fed, our erstwhile systemic regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., our erstwhile prudential regulator, both shared CRA enforcement responsibilities and both failed massively and chronically in the last financial crisis.
I would amend the FDIC mission statement to "as an independent regulator, we will protect the FDIC insurance fund from the errors of bankers, the overconfidence of borrowers and the folly of politicians, political advocacy groups and other bureaucracies such as HUD and the CFPB" and hold them to it.
Proponents support the status quo.

No. 11 Duke burned through a lot of emotional energy a few days ago in its loss at Syracuse.
The Blue Devils still had plenty left to take care of Wake Forest.
Jabari Parker scored 21 points in Duke's 83-63 rout of the Demon Deacons on Tuesday night.
Rasheed Sulaimon added 19 points for the Blue Devils (18-5, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Playing their first game since their thrill-a-minute, 81-79 overtime loss to the eventual No. 1 Orange, they showed no signs of sluggishness.
"We beat the emotional hangover," coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
And the Demon Deacons, too.
Duke shot nearly 51 percent, hit 12 3-pointers against one of the ACC's best perimeter defenses and used a big run at the end of the first half to roll to its eighth straight victory over its instate rival.
"It was something for us to prove," Parker said. "I think it was a game where we needed to improve and just get back going."
Devin Thomas had 14 points before fouling out for the Demon Deacons (14-9, 4-6), who have lost three straight for the first time this season.
They had 19 turnovers — including five straight during Duke's decisive run.
"And it was an uphill climb from then on," coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "It just shows you how important each and every possession still is. ... That's a big difference, obviously, especially in a place like this."
Playing without leading scorer Codi Miller-McIntyre, Wake Forest hung around for about 15 minutes before ultimately losing their 15th straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium — all by double figures.
Andre Dawkins added 17 points with four 3-pointers for Duke, which won its 29th straight home game — tied for the longest active streak in the nation with No. 3 Florida, which beat Missouri earlier Tuesday night.
Parker reached the 20-point mark for the 13th time and third time in ACC play.
Duke improved to 24-1 after a loss since the start of 2009-10, and was never really in danger of its first consecutive defeats since the 2012 ACC and NCAA tournaments.
The Blue Devils did it this time with defense, with pesky guard Tyler Thornton recording three of the team's 10 steals — and receiving an enthusiastic high-five from Krzyzewski after deflecting another ball out of bounds.
"Tyler really played like a senior captain today," Krzyzewski said. "He just set the tone for us. He's been that kind of guy for his whole four years, and hopefully now, as we're entering the last stages of these seniors' careers, they step it up even more."
Duke scored 26 points off all those Wake Forest giveaways.
Arnaud William Adala Moto had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and freshman Miles Overton had a season-high 12 points for the Demon Deacons, who fell to 2-28 in ACC road games in Bzdelik's fourth year.
Miller-McIntyre, who averages 14.4 points, was in uniform on the bench but was unable to play after spraining his ankle three days earlier against Georgia Tech.
Bzdelik said the team's medical staff told him Tuesday morning that, "Hey, we're not going to do this."
"It's too tender, and he would not have been effective," Bzdelik said. "We didn't want a setback, obviously, with a lot of basketball left to be played."
Even without him, Wake Forest managed to keep this one competitive for a little while.
And then it got out of hand in a hurry.
Duke held Wake Forest without a field goal for more than 7 minutes late in the first half and used an 18-1 run to first take the lead for good, then push it well into double figures.
"It took us a while to get going, especially me, defensively," Parker said. "We didn't do a good job of defending the post, and it really did show. ... The second part of the first half, we really got through it, started to play defense and picked it up."
The Blue Devils — who shoot 3-pointers at an ACC-leading 41 percent clip — hit four 3s in roughly 3½ minutes during that run, including two by Rodney Hood about 30 seconds apart. Sulaimon closed the run by hitting from long range with about a minute left before the break to make it 44-29.

[b] Account Security[/b]
Hackers have lists of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and web sites, and collected through spyware, and are systematically testing Guild Wars 2 looking for matching accounts.
To protect yourself, use a strong, unique password for Guild Wars 2 that you've never used anywhere else!
Today a Guild Wars related fan site announced that its account database has been breached. That's important but just one of many apparent breaches of other games and web sites that hackers have been collecting email addresses and passwords from. Protect yourself by using a unique password for each game and web site account you care about, and especially be sure to use a unique password for your Guild Wars 2 account.
[b]Customer Support[/b]
Our customer support team is prioritizing hacked accounts and other blocking login issues over other types of support requests. If you submit a support ticket for a hacked account, ensure it is properly prioritized by following these instructions.
We have now completed prioritized requests submitted prior to Saturday, September 1. If you have an older ticket that has not been completed, that means it's not correctly prioritized. Submit a new ticket using the above instructions, and in the title write, "Hacked Account - Ticket submitted August xx - Ticket number xxxxxx-xxxxxx" (fill in the date and ticket number of your existing ticket), and we will prioritize your existing ticket.
In the past 24 hours we helped 2,574 players with hacked accounts and 2,867 players with other blocking login issues get back into the game.
[b]Email Authentication[/b]
Once you validate your account email address, we help protect you from attempted account hacking (even if the hacker guesses your password) by sending you an email every time you attempt to login from a new location, asking you to approve or deny the login attempt. Keep in mind, if you receive an email asking you to approve or deny a login attempt and you didn't make that login attempt, that means a hacker knows your password. Change your password immediately.
Be sure not to flag an email authentication message as spam; if you do, your email provider may prevent future email authentication messages from reaching you.
If email authentication is preventing you from logging in, contact our customer support team following these instructions and we'll disable it for your account.
[b]Reset Password[/b]
We will leave "reset password" disabled until further notice. We don't want to allow hackers who compromise an email account to use that email account to steal the associated Guild Wars 2 game account. If you forget your password, please contact customer support.
[b]Network Connectivity Issues[/b]
We experienced network connectivity issues today between our North American and European data centers, which caused intermittent errors with login, character creation and deletion, and guild manipulation. These issues should now be resolved.
[b]Parties & Guilds[/b]
We've made progress but still have capacity constraints causing issues with party and guild functionality, including symptoms such as party members not appearing on the map, parties not staying together as they travel between maps or into dungeons, and guild manipulation not working. We're working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.
[b]PvP Tournament Rewards[/b]
PvP tournament rewards are currently not functioning properly. We're working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.
[b]Trading Post[/b]
We've been expanding the Trading Post's capacity to handle the huge volume of requested trades. After our test yesterday, we've been working to resolve some issues reported by players. We expect to have the Trading Post online for all players this evening (edit: after tonight's software update).
[b]Storyline Steps[/b]
In last night's update we fixed blocking issues with the storyline steps "Stealing Secrets" and "A Grisly Shipment". We're preparing to fix issues with "The Battle for Fort Trinity" and "Shell Shock" for tonight's update.
[b]Worlds & Overflow[/b]
We're increasing world capacity as necessary to handle all the new players coming into the game.
During this initial surge of high concurrency, and especially while most characters are low-level and thus playing in the same starting areas, it's common for players to be directed to overflow servers. To play with a friend on a different overflow server, form a party together, then right-click on the friend's portrait in the party list and click "join". We expect the use of overflow servers to naturally subside as players spread out more through the world.
Our most important priority at the moment is to ensure that the game runs stably and flawlessly. So as to not create additional demand on our infrastructure and on our programming team, we made the decision not to open the forums until the initial mass influx of players has calmed down a bit.
[b]Reporting exploits[/b]
If you discover an emergency game-breaking or economy-breaking bug, do not exploit it, but please notify us immediately at this email address: exploits (at) arena (dot) net. You may also use this email address to report suspected security vulnerabilities. Thank you to everyone who has sent reports. However, note that we cannot respond individually to emails to this address.
[b]Next software updates[/b]
We're making non-disruptive changes throughout the day. We'll publish the next back-end server update tonight at midnight Seattle time. The game may be unavailable for approximately 20-60 minutes while we perform this update.

By David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate was poised on Friday to pass its first federal budget in four years, a move that will usher in a relative lull in Washington's fiscal wars until an anticipated summer showdown over raising the debt ceiling.
The Democratic-focused budget plan from the Democratic-controlled Senate will square off against a Republican-focused budget passed on Thursday by the Republican-dominated House of Representatives.
Neither is likely to be passed by their opposite chambers and become law, but the plans will give each party a platform in coming months from which to tout vastly different visions for shrinking U.S. deficits and growing the economy.
Passage of a stop-gap government funding measure on Thursday lowered the temperature in the budget debate by eliminating the threat of a government shutdown next week.
"We're going to get a breather here. Congress will let things cool off a bit and there'll be other issues that come to the forefront in the spring," said Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group, a firm that advises institutional investors on Washington politics.
These include legislation on gun control, immigration reform and initial work on simplifying the tax code, which is particularly important to Republicans.
After 2013 started with high drama over the January 1 "fiscal cliff" tax increase on the wealthy, Republicans in the House of Representatives chose not to press demands for deep spending cuts on a February debt-limit increase or on this week's funding bill.
Some $85 billion in automatic spending cuts were triggered on March 1, but their effects are just now starting to become apparent, and the funding bill will ease some of the pain for government agencies.
After a two-week Passover/Easter break, appropriations committees will also start work on spending bills for the 2014 fiscal year starting on October 1 that could give agencies further spending flexibility within their reduced budgets.
In the lead-up to the Senate vote, the body considered dozens of largely symbolic, non-binding amendments to the budget aimed at scoring political points and staking out positions.
But in these votes, the Senate signaled strong support for allowing states more authority to collect sales taxes on Internet purchases, for approval of the controversial Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline and for repealing a tax on medical devices imposed by President Barack Obama's health care reform law.
The Senate also voted 99-0 to end policies that subsidize large banks considered "too big to fail" but came out against imposing taxes on industrial carbon emissions.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray has described her Democratic blueprint as a "jobs and growth budget." It calls for raising nearly $1 trillion in new tax revenues through ending or capping some breaks for the wealthy, replacing the automatic spending cuts with other savings and making modest cuts to health care.
To stoke near-term economic growth, it also calls for $100 billion in new spending to rebuild infrastructure and to retrain workers.
Murray's plan, which claims $1.85 trillion in overall deficit reduction through 2023, is already locking horns with that of Paul Ryan, Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee, which claims $4.6 trillion in savings on top of the automatic spending cuts.
Ryan's plan aims to reach a small surplus with no tax increases by 2023 through deep cuts to social safety net programs. This enables Republicans to claim that they are more responsible by balancing the budget.
"The House budget changes our debt course, while the Senate budget does not," said Senator Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee.
In a taste of the ideological debates to come, Murray claimed that the Senate budget was more "balanced" because it emphasizes job growth and offers an equal amount of revenue increases and spending cuts.
For a side-by-side comparison of the two deeply divided Ryan and Murray budgets, see [ID:nL1N0C5HIO].
The Senate has not passed a budget since 2009 because of fiscal policy disputes with House Republicans that forced Congress to pass numerous stop-gap spending measures to avoid government shutdowns.
To protect their thin Senate majority, Democrats avoided exposing their members to potentially damaging votes to raise taxes ahead of 2012 elections, arguing that a 2011 budget deal set spending levels for several years and made a budget resolution unnecessary.
Although lawmakers in both parties have called for a return to normal budgeting procedures after years of stop-gap spending bills and high-pressure deadlines, there is little chance that they can work out differences between the two budgets.
"The idea of conferencing them is kind of a joke. You would expect that if there were a chance of success, they wouldn't have planted flags on completely different planets," said Sean West, U.S. policy director at Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy.
Ultimately, it may take another 11th-hour deal between Obama and congressional Republicans to set a fiscal path forward as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling, he said. The U.S. Treasury is expected to exhaust its borrowing capacity around late July or early August.
In 2011, a similar fight over the debt limit shook financial markets and cost the United States its top-tier credit rating.
Even then, a so-called "grand bargain" to reduce the national deficit by $2 trillion or more by pairing revenues from tax loopholes with savings from reforms to the Medicare health program for the elderly and the Social Security retirement system will likely remain elusive with such deep divisions.
"I'm skeptical that we get any sort of grand bargain," West said.
But a smaller deal that chips away at the deficit and prevents major disruptions to the economy and financial markets may be possible, added Valliere.
"The savings may be in the hundreds of billions, not the trillions, but it's another increment of fiscal restraint," he said.

National Winter Trails Day & the Lakes Basin 15K
Depressed about the current lack of snow situation around here?
I have been able to stay motivated and upbeat because I am still skiing on great conditions up at Tamarack. It is going to take a good, old-fashioned three footer to open all the trails in the Lakes Basin, but never mind that for now; the 15 kilometers that are open have good coverage and are manicured every night as if by magic.
And, you can't beat the warm, sunny days for being outdoors in winter.
National Trails Day is being celebrated at cross-country ski areas across the country this weekend, so this might be the time to take a break from the slopes, skip the gym, or just get off the couch to find out what all the excitement is about.
Tamarack Cross-Country Ski Center has ski and snowshoe trails and top of the line rentals for both activities.
I am an aerobic junkie and get my daily endorphin dose by skating or kick and gliding the Lakes Basin trails.
I love the rhythm of skiing steadily uphill, the sound of my breathing in my ears, and one of my many technique mantras running through my brain.
The flat stretches of trail are for cruising and looking at the scenery flying by.
The reward at the end of the hard work is flying down the hills that took such concentration and effort to climb. It really is exhilarating.
The beauty of cross-country skiing is that it can be done at any pace. That blur of green and brown that I see in my peripheral vision while out skating is actually a forest of individual trees.
When I slow down, I see lodgepole pines, red fir and the occasional juniper. The view of the Mammoth Crest and Crystal Crag is quite lovely from Lake Mary when I take the time to pause on my skiing jaunts through the basin.
Not a skier? Snowshoeing is easy and especially fun if you get off the beaten path and wander through the forest on one of Tamarack's snowshoe trails. Tamarack offers free Naturalist Tours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. and will offer an additional snowshoe tour at 1 p.m. on Jan. 11 as part of the Winter Trails Day celebration.
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the local geology, trees, and more in a beautiful winter setting from our knowledgeable naturalist staff.
Abundant creatures, from chickadees and pine martens to coyotes and bears, make their habitat in the Lakes Basin and leave tracks and other signs for observant passers-by.
I am seriously considering dusting off my spandex on Sunday for the Lakes Basin 15K.
I just got word that the race will take place in the Upper Basin, with the start/finish at Pokonobe Lodge.
The course is three laps of the Lake Mary Loop plus the bottom of Coldwater run counter-clockwise.
Sounds like a blast: one short climb and descent and a lot of fun, gradual terrain.
I am glad I won't have to race those fast Mammoth junior racers, as they will do just one lap for 5K.
The youngest skiers will have a 1 or 2 kilometer course, so there is something for the whole family.
Even if you have never done a cross-country ski race, this is a great event to take part in. There is a convivial community vibe at Tamarack's races and in the end, just finishing a race is highly rewarding.
If you have been putting in the K's all winter, and you know who you are, I expect to toe the line with you Sunday morning!
Don't be late to sign up, as the race will begin promptly at 10 a.m. Registration is currently open at the cross–country ski center, but will close at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday.
I am counting on Jeremy DeCell, head of Tamarack's outdoor operations, to produce a fast and smooth surface for skating on Sunday. He has done a magnificent job blowing, blading and tilling the trails at Tamarack these past weeks, so if you see him around, be sure to thank him for his hard work and creativity.
I am officially putting out the challenge to visit Tamarack Cross Country this weekend for the National Winter Trails Day on Saturday or for the Lakes Basin 15K on Sunday.
See you on the trails!

LifeWave committed a donation with a retail value in excess of $2.1 million. The donation included Aeon patches (for stress relief), IceWave patches (for pain relief) and Silent Nights patches (for improved sleep), providing Veterans fast and natural health benefits.
Long time LifeWave Member, Thomas Burke, first developed LifeWave's relationship with the MOPH and has been personally responsible for organizing many of the humanitarian aid programs LifeWave has provided during its 10-year history as a company.
About MOPH
Chartered by Congress in 1958, The Military Order of the Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat. Although membership is restricted to the combat wounded, MOPH supports all veterans and their families with a myriad of nation-wide programs by Chapters and National Service Officers. The Order now includes about 45,000 total members. The majority of their funding is received from the MOPH Service Foundation through either restricted or unrestricted grants. The Service Foundation receives their money through various fundraising activities, such as thrift stores and a vehicle donation program. For more information, please visit www.purpleheart.org.

|Spotlight on... Pat Harborth
Pat Harborth has worked at UTSA since May 1990. She
started her job in Key Control at the
Plant and has learned more about keys than she ever knew
existed. The Key Control function was transferred to the Police
five years ago and the name was changed to Access Control Center, which
also handles the card access on Campus.
Pat was born and raised in Seguin, but now resides near Boerne with her many "critters". She has two dogs, Ozzie and Ashley, that were rescued from the streets near Hills & Dales and many, many kitties. She is also one of the volunteers who assists in the feeding of the feral cats on Campus. The Roadrunner Cat Coalition aids in the spaying, neutering and other veterinary needs of the feral cats. They also have kittens available for adoption so if you need a furry little critter around your home – contact Pat. Pat's other hobbies include jigsaw puzzles and reading.
Thank you, Pat, for your dedication and support of the UTSA and Business Affairs goals.

The Celebrating Excellence program is designed to give you the ability to recognize any Business Affairs employee for their work efforts. If you see another Business Affairs employee doing a great job, go to the Business Affairs website, click on the Celebrating Excellence logo in the upper left corner and go to Nomination Process and Forms. Or, you can contact your Associate Vice President's office for information on their "in-house" recognition program. There are a lot of great things going on out there. It's time to let others know about it. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity you have to recognize others for the great work they do.

|UTSA Receives 8th Patent
Ever wonder how those pesky ants managed to find that one bread crumb that fell from your 4th of July hotdog? The answer involves molecules that create odors. And now thanks to the work of Dr. Robert Renthal in the Department of Biology, scientists may soon be able to figure out how to prevent ants and other unwanted insects from crashing your picnic, as well as how to control insect damage to agricultural crops and to block disease transmission by insect vectors.
Through the course of his work on insect
odor detection, Dr. Renthal discovered a new way of purifying
pheromones, the
Using Dr. Renthal's technique, scientists will be able to isolate and identify various insect pheromones, and thus be able to uncover new information about this communication system. This increased knowledge will have direct applications in the management and control of various insects including termites, fire ants, thrips, aphids, and even bed bugs.
UTSA filed a patent application on Dr. Renthal's method in April 2003. The patent office reviewed the application in July 2005, and recently issued a "notice of allowance," or approval of the application. "It is not unusual for a patent application to take two to three years to issue due to the large number of applications that the patent office must review," says Ruben Lopez, Manager of Business and Technology Development, whose office under the AVP for Administration assists faculty with inventions and patent applications. The patent issued as U.S. Patent # 7,074,572 on July 11, 2006. For more information on patents, or to search for this patent on the Web go to www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html.
University Police Re-Organization
Since Chief
Hernandez' arrival, he has
taken the time to familiarize himself with the operations of the police
department and assess its effectiveness. The overall function of
the police department is very good; however, Chief Dave believes we can be more efficient and
in the long run more effective with a few organizational changes.
The following changes have been made to the Police Department's
organizational structure:
These changes will help our Police utilize its staff and function in a much more efficient manner. President Romo recently stated that we have the best Police Department in the state! We are proud of their professional and dedicated service to all the students, faculty and staff at UTSA!

Bob Warnke, 70, is a Bachelor's of Liberal Studies Organizational Administration and Leadership student from Oshkosh, Wis. Warnke wanted to go back to college to fulfill one of his goals, and to show his three children he could do it too. Warnke is also a Winnebago County Board member.
I would like to relate some of my experiences during the last five years of attending UW Oshkosh.
First of all the reason it took me five years is that I had to take some time off because my doctors had other plans which included eye surgery, three knee surgeries (two total replacements), one shoulder surgery (my sixth) and one cancer surgery.
My point is that you never, never give up!
Once you start this journey to get a degree you may be sidetracked, but do not let it get you down. In the last five years I have spent countless hours sitting in my den doing homework with the door closed, a big glass of ice water and Ebby, my great big Yellow Tom Cat at my side. Ebby followed me where ever I went.
I also have an office in the basement where I did a lot of reading, so Ebby followed me there and would sit on my desk next to me while I read. The last time I was in school was 45 years ago when I received an associate degree from the Oshkosh Technical Institute (now Fox Valley Technical College).
I want to help anyone who has gone back to school as a nontraditional student know that you can do it and get over the rough parts by putting in your time. You can do it by never giving up no matter what. There is help out there.
UW Oshkosh has excellent professors, advisers, tutors, the Writing Center and reference librarians to help you. All you have to do to get help is ask and you will get help.
I have had several teachers who would spend an hour or more each week just to help me understand the assignments. The one thing most nontraditional students have going for them is the option of Assessment for Prior Learning.
In this class, which is taught by Karen Bowen, you apply for credit that you learned in your experiences in your job. I have earned 12 credits towards my degree, and Karen Bowen will work very hard to help you get these credits applied toward your degree.
I also have to give a lot of credit to my wife, and my three kids for helping to get me over the rough parts of this journey—especially in the areas of how to manipulate a computer and D2L.
My kids are so good, and they know how to do things, but they have a hard time teaching me because they don't have the time.
There is little doubt that going back to school is a big commitment and very time consuming, but I just want to encourage you to make that commitment and stick to it. I am retired from a full-time job, even though I am keeping pretty busy with my role on the Winnebago County Board, running a small resort, playing golf and keeping fish in the freezer, so I know it is an even greater task to raise a family, bring home the bacon and going for a degree all at the same time. But my advice is do not over do it with taking on too many credits. If it takes a little longer so be it! You can do it! And it will reap rewards for you in the end.
My only regret in this story is that I will not be able to have Ebby walk down the aisle with me at commencement on May 11. After 14 years Ebby died two weeks ago. Give your favorite pet a hug tonight and make sure they have ice water when they are with you.

Welcome to Deadtide
May 11, 2008
The time has come to put Deadtide in the ground. I've had a blast running it for the last eight years but priorities change, life complicates and sacrifices must be made. I've heard a lot of great metal, met a lot of great people and don't regret a minute of it. I'd like to keep it that way.
The site and forums will stay online as long as the domain works (probably another year), but it's unlikely that any new content will be generated.
From here out, I'll be focusing my efforts on The Living Fields and Execution Magazine, both of which are more about making music than just sitting back and listening to it.
To the bands, labels and publicity people we've worked with, thank you for your support. I never expected as much as we got.
To the writers, thank you so much for making the site what it was.
To the readers, thanks for tuning in.
Over and out,
~ Muxlow

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
After your kids finish carving the pumpkins, turn the scooped-out seeds into a healthy snack. This is a great opportunity to explain to your kids where seeds come from.

What You Need:
